Prior Notice:
Subject: Northwest Pipeline LLC’s Huntingdon Connector Project Binding Open Season and
Reverse Open Season
Northwest Pipeline LLC ("Northwest") hereby announces that it is holding a binding open season
(“Open Season”) for its proposed Huntingdon Connector Project (“Project”) and is soliciting
binding commitments for year-round primary firm transportation service to be made available
by a target in-service date of November 1, 2026, if the Project is authorized under the prior notice
procedures of Northwest’s blanket certificate and Part 157 Subpart F of the FERC’s regulations,
or October 1, 2028, if the Project is converted to an application for a case-specific certificate of
public convenience and necessity under section 7(c) the Natural Gas Act. The primary purpose
of the Project is to provide additional service from the Sumas Receipt Point to delivery points
along the I-5 corridor on Northwest’s existing interstate natural gas transportation system
(“Northwest’s System”).
Concurrently with the Open Season, Northwest is soliciting offers for the permanent
relinquishment of primary firm transportation service on Northwest’s System in connection with
the Project. Specifically, shippers under Rate Schedule TF-1 of Northwest’ FERC Gas Tariff
(“Tariff”) holding primary firm transportation service within the path and direction of the Project
(defined as “Relinquishment Path” in the link below) may offer that capacity for relinquishment, subject to
the conditions set forth in the link provided below under “Reverse Open Season”.
The Open Season and the Reverse Open Season will each commence at 5:00 p.m. CST on
January 8, 2025, and end at 5:00 p.m. CST on January 22, 2025 (the “Open Season Period”).
